Chery Wins Big at the 2026 Money Best of the Best Awards

Chery Australia has made a standout debut in the 2026 Money Best of the Best Awards, taking home two major category wins — a proud moment for the brand and for Chery drivers across the country. At Tynan Chery Wollongong, we’re excited to see Chery recognised for delivering feature-packed SUVs that suit Australian lifestyles.

In its first appearance in the awards, Chery secured:

• Best-Value Compact SUV – Chery Tiggo 4 Urban
• Best-Value Plug-In Hybrid – Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid Urban

The Money Best of the Best Awards celebrate Australia’s top-performing products and brands, with winners assessed on the overall benefits they offer to consumers — including value, features, ownership experience, and technology.

Michelle Baltazar, Editor-in-Chief at Money, noted this double win as a major achievement for a first-time entrant, highlighting the strength of Chery’s compact SUV and plug-in hybrid range.

Chery Australia Chief Operating Officer Lucas Harris described the results as a milestone moment, reinforcing the brand’s focus on accessible innovation, safety, and everyday confidence behind the wheel — values that align strongly with what we aim to provide here at Tynan Chery Wollongong.
